    Another newbie question…

    So having taken advice from the community I’ve decided against any form of colour change,

    Another 355 has come up which largely ticks all the boxes including colour. It’s a 1997 manual that’s been looked after by a reputable independent. It’s done £50k miles. Would this put anyone off?

    2000 miles a year - it probably desperately needs an Italian tune up......

    I have 47K <miles> on mine <95> and no issues- but meticulously maintained by the previous owner and me- so I would worry less about the miles and focus on the maintenance history-

    nope. these cars like to be used. a high mileage car with a solid history is far better bet than the opposite.

    if you intend to drive it, far better bet to get one with mileage rather than a garage queen as you will loose a shed load

    I'd rather buy one with a well documented 50k on it than one which has done '28k' and has a patchy history...

    Thanks again everyone for the advice. Much appreciated. I’ll delve more into service and maintenance records. They look good but I’ll go through in finer detail.

    Slowly edging forward to owning and driving one of these fantastic vehicles.
